Kun Hu reports that the SQPOLL creating error path has UAF, which
happens if io_uring_alloc_task_context() fails and then io_sq_thread()
manages to run and complete before the rest of error handling code,
which means io_sq_thread_finish() is looking at already killed task.

Note that this is mostly theoretical, requiring fault injection on
the allocation side to trigger in practice.

<title>exec: Make sure task-&gt;comm is always NUL-terminated</title>

Using strscpy() meant that the final character in task-&gt;comm may be
non-NUL for a moment before the "string too long" truncation happens.

Instead of adding a new use of the ambiguous strncpy(), we'd want to
use memtostr_pad() which enforces being able to check at compile time
that sizes are sensible, but this requires being able to see string
buffer lengths. Instead of trying to inline __set_task_comm() (which
needs to call trace and perf functions), just open-code it. But to
make sure we're always safe, add compile-time checking like we already
do for get_task_comm().

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Cleanups of the eventfd handling code, making it fully private.

 - Support for sending a sync message to another ring, without having a
   ring available to send a normal async message.

 - Get rid of the separate unlocked hash table, unify everything around
   the single locked one.

 - Add support for ring resizing. It can be hard to appropriately size
   the CQ ring upfront, if the application doesn't know how busy it will
   be. This results in applications sizing rings for the most busy case,
   which can be wasteful. With ring resizing, they can start small and
   grow the ring, if needed.

 - Add support for fixed wait regions, rather than needing to copy the
   same wait data tons of times for each wait operation.

 - Rewrite the resource node handling, which before was serialized per
   ring. This caused issues with particularly fixed files, where one
   file waiting on IO could hold up putting and freeing of other
   unrelated files. Now each node is handled separately. New code is
   much simpler too, and was a net 250 line reduction in code.

 - Add support for just doing partial buffer clones, rather than always
   cloning the entire buffer table.

 - Series adding static NAPI support, where a specific NAPI instance is
   used rather than having a list of them available that need lookup.

 - Add support for mapped regions, and also convert the fixed wait
   support mentioned above to that concept. This avoids doing special
   mappings for various planned features, and folds the existing
   registered wait into that too.

 - Add support for hybrid IO polling, which is a variant of strict
   IOPOLL but with an initial sleep delay to avoid spinning too early
   and wasting resources on devices that aren't necessarily in the &lt; 5
   usec category wrt latencies.

 - Various cleanups and little fixes.

<title>io_uring/sqpoll: wait on sqd-&gt;wait for thread parking</title>

io_sqd_handle_event() just does a mutex unlock/lock dance when it's
supposed to park, somewhat relying on full ordering with the thread
trying to park it which does a similar unlock/lock dance on sqd-&gt;lock.
However, with adaptive spinning on mutexes, this can waste an awful
lot of time. Normally this isn't very noticeable, as parking and
unparking the thread isn't a common (or fast path) occurence. However,
in testing ring resizing, it's testing exactly that, as each resize
will require the SQPOLL to safely park and unpark.

Have io_sq_thread_park() explicitly wait on sqd-&gt;park_pending being
zero before attempting to grab the sqd-&gt;lock again.

In a resize test, this brings the runtime of SQPOLL down from about
60 seconds to a few seconds, just like the !SQPOLL tests. And saves
a ton of spinning time on the mutex, on both sides.

Pull more io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
 "Mostly just a set of fixes in here, or little changes that didn't get
  included in the initial pull request. This contains:

   - Move the SQPOLL napi polling outside the submission lock (Olivier)

   - Rename of the "copy buffers" API that got added in the 6.12 merge
     window. There's really no copying going on, it's just referencing
     the buffers. After a bit of consideration, decided that it was
     better to simply rename this to avoid potential confusion (me)

   - Shrink struct io_mapped_ubuf from 48 to 32 bytes, by changing it to
     start + len tracking rather than having start / end in there, and
     by removing the caching of folio_mask when we can just calculate it
     from folio_shift when we need it (me)

   - Fixes for the SQPOLL affinity checking (me, Felix)

   - Fix for how cqring waiting checks for the presence of task_work.
     Just check it directly rather than check for a specific
     notification mechanism (me)

   - Tweak to how request linking is represented in tracing (me)

   - Fix a syzbot report that deliberately sets up a huge list of
     overflow entries, and then hits rcu stalls when flushing this list.
     Just check for the need to preempt, and drop/reacquire locks in the
     loop. There's no state maintained over the loop itself, and each
     entry is yanked from head-of-list (me)"

* tag 'for-6.12/io_uring-20240922' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux:
  io_uring: check if we need to reschedule during overflow flush
  io_uring: improve request linking trace
  io_uring: check for presence of task_work rather than TIF_NOTIFY_SIGNAL
  io_uring/sqpoll: do the napi busy poll outside the submission block
  io_uring: clean up a type in io_uring_register_get_file()
  io_uring/sqpoll: do not put cpumask on stack
  io_uring/sqpoll: retain test for whether the CPU is valid
  io_uring/rsrc: change ubuf-&gt;ubuf_end to length tracking
  io_uring/rsrc: get rid of io_mapped_ubuf-&gt;folio_mask
  io_uring: rename "copy buffers" to "clone buffers"

<title>io_uring/sqpoll: do the napi busy poll outside the submission block</title>

there are many small reasons justifying this change.

1. busy poll must be performed even on rings that have no iopoll and no
   new sqe. It is quite possible that a ring configured for inbound
   traffic with multishot be several hours without receiving new request
   submissions
2. NAPI busy poll does not perform any credential validation
3. If the thread is awaken by task work, processing the task work is
   prioritary over NAPI busy loop. This is why a second loop has been
   created after the io_sq_tw() call instead of doing the busy loop in
   __io_sq_thread() outside its credential acquisition block.
